Urethane Band Saw Tires

Outlast traditional rubber tires by far!

Because these are made of flexible urethane instead of the usual rubber, they stay flexible longer to increase the performance of your blade! And since you don’t need to glue them to the wheel, installing and replacing is much easier, too. Bright orange color aids in blade inspection.

They fit all 14" bandsaws, especially Jet and Delta.

I removed the wheels from the machine and then followed the procedures on the package and had no difficulty installing the tires. They run true and I expect to have good service from them.

Installed these on my 23 year old Grizzly G1019. I warmed them in water per instructions then started the band on part of the wheel securing with quick clamps. I then clamped that part of the wheel in the side vise on my workbench and used a small round screwdriver shank to work the rest of the band around the wheel. The bands cooled and were very tight afterwords. The Urethane seems to grip the blade very well. I am completely satisfied at this point. Time will tell about wear.

Product fit perfectly on my Rigid 14" Bandsaw. I was worried because the steel wheels measured 13 1/2", but when the "tires" arrived they still needed to be heated before they would go on. Follwed the directions for heating and the Tires slipped on, no problems, even with the wheels remaining on the machine. Allowed the tires to "cool" as directed. This is important , so don't skip that step. After the cool down - the blade tracked smoothly without vibration ! I can stand a Nickel "On-end" on my bandsaw Table while the 3/4 HP motor runs a 3/8" blade and the nickel remains standing! It is very obvious these tires will last a lot longer than my originals...you can feel the toughness. Very glad a breakage forced me into buying new tires and very glad Rockler.com was there to pick the pieces.

Fit perfectly. Installed easily. I was worried that installation would be difficult, based on previous reviews. I guess some of you guys should get more exercise.

These are a great buy - so much better than rubber tires. I had to use a chisel to smotth the wheels prior to installion and use sand paper to ensure all the glue was gone. I tried to heating method on hot water, but they cooled to fast getting them to the garage, so we used clamps and streched them into place with a rounded rod (no sharp edges), then used a soft face hammer to tap them down flat in the wheel as I rotated it. When finished - they looked great and I hope will last a long time. The blade tracks nicely and doesnt dent into the tire like with rubber. Worth changing over - would never recommend rubber tires! Buy these - worth the money!

Ridgid was out of their tires for over 3 months. This set of urethane tires fit perfectly and got me back in business.Warm water and some sweat and everything is great. The saw works it's new.

I guess I get to be the detractor on this product. These tires went on easily and the installation was not very difficult at all. The operation of the saw was no different with these than when the factory installed (Ridgid 14") were new.
In less than a month, these new tires had grooves in them and it was diffficult to keep different sized blades to track correctly because of the grooves in the tires. I now have to find another set, not urethane this time.
